Two strikers that would be perfect at White Hart Lane

Ben McAleer — Tue, 29 May 2012 08:45:18 +0000

As a child, playing up front is the position that any kid wants to play. Pulling on the number nine shirt filled any youngster with the confidence to smash the ball into the back of the net on a regular basis, whether it was a kick about with friends with jumpers for goalposts or in an 11-a-side game for the local side, nothing felt better than knowing you were the main man; the primary source of goals.

Analysing the transfer targets

With the season now, officially, over, transfer silly season has indeed begun. In the past, Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a host of names prior to the opening of the transfer window, and this summer is no different. With June fast approaching, Charlie Bowsher analyses a number of the player's that have mooted as possible summer arrivals at White Hart Lane.

Is Modric really off?

I love and loathe the transfer window. A love-hate relationship, if you will.

Proof of Levy in Amsterdam

De Telegraaf is today running a story confirming that our esteemed chairman Daniel Levy is indeed in Amsterdam discussing a possible deal for Jan vertonghen.

Summer transfer rumours Pt. 1

Ben McAleer — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:55:52 +0000

Yes, it’s back. The summer has crept up on us like a cheetah hunting a wild boar, and with it comes the transfer window. Some of the rumours I have seen or heard is as follows:

Ramifications

*Pop*. With Didier Drogba’s winning penalty against Bayern Munich on Saturday night, that pop was the sound of Tottenham Hotspur’s Champions League dream ending.

Chatting Spurs with Micky Hazard

Ben McAleer — Fri, 18 May 2012 12:25:44 +0000

As the season draws to an end, football news continues to dictate the sporting headlines. Following Sergio Aguero’s last gasp winner to secure the Premier League title for Manchester City, Roy Hodgson has announced his first England squad and Kenny Dalglish has been sacked by Liverpool. However, the biggest piece to break has been To the Lane and Back’s first interview with an ex-Spur, Micky Hazard. One of the nicest guys we have ever had the chance of meeting; we spoke Spurs, Arsenal and Lionel Messi. Take it away Micky.

The summer....

Somewhat of a follow up to the yesterday’s season review; the summer is usually a dreaded time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan.

A tale of two halves

Ben McAleer — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:08:59 +0000

So there we have it, another season has drawn to an end and with it, a barrage of season reviews comes flooding towards all those with a computer, laptop or smartphone to hand. Before I divulge this piece I have to warn readers; this is one of those season reviews. But, rather than focus on a month-by-month rundown as favoured by some, To the Lane and Back will look to 2011 Tottenham Hotspur and their ugly 2012 half-cousin, thus the clichéd title.

So, sit back and read through what has been another rollercoaster ride for all Spurs fans.

Squeaky bum time

Upon hearing that Arsenal had drawn 3-3 at home to Norwich City on Saturday, everyone knew the ball had fallen firmly in Tottenham Hotspur’s court in the race for third place.
